The artwork, named “Haus,” was created by the artist Leiko Ikemura in the year 1992. It belongs to the Neo-Expressionism art movement and is classified under the genre of sculpture.
“Haus” is a sculptural piece featuring a distinct structure that appears to merge elements of architecture and organic forms. The upper portion of the sculpture is intricately detailed with a series of patterns and textures that suggest a tactile quality. This portion seems to be perched on a more geometric, perhaps architectural base. The combination of detailed, possibly nature-inspired motifs with a structured base creates a juxtaposition of the organic and the built environment. The surface of the sculpture is marked with various linear and etched details, contributing to its intricate and somewhat weathered appearance. The overall form and texture suggest a work that invites viewers to contemplate the intersection of nature and human-made structures within the expressive framework of Neo-Expressionism.
